Horses and bulls expanded them. And today they are smooth roads. When we want to go somewhere, we take these well -strengthened paths.

As Judson Brewer indicated Craving brainMemories (the path to returning) is just as ancient and like life.

And, critically, the food offered us a reward: a shot of brain chemicals that indicates appetite. Yam. Yam.
It is easily hijacked to promote a reward -based learning system, brover note, other habits: see cool children’s smoking. Smoke to be cool. To be seen as cool. Looks good Make a good memory. Want to do it again.
